Stomach stitch trial for weight regain halted early

NCT ID NCT02048033

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a procedure called endoscopic suturing (using the OverStitch device) to narrow the stomach opening in people who regained weight after gastric bypass surgery. The goal was to see if this minimally invasive stitch could help them lose weight again compared to standard care. The trial was terminated early, so we have limited data on how well it worked or its long-term effects.

What this could lead to

If it had worked, this could offer a less invasive way to help people who regain weight after gastric bypass, potentially avoiding repeat surgery.

What could go wrong

The trial was terminated early, so results are limited. The procedure carries risks like bleeding or injury, and it may not provide lasting weight loss.
